Strategies for understanding what your strengths are and how to apply them to a resume

"I didn't know what to expect, and honestly I was skeptical how much I would learn...but it blew everything I learned in business school out of the water! After the 24 hours, I updated my resume for an awesome job I saw, sent an email using the networking template to an informational interview contact, and heard back within 6 hours about the position."

"I just completed the course over the weekend and there is a nervous excitement brewing in my belly. Something that once seemed SO daunting now feels absolutely doable. From the design templates and tips, the printable worksheets, and additional resources....this was top-notch stuff. This is a class I look forward to repeating."

"The 24-Hour Resume Makeover is my roadmap to documenting the work I've done, matching my resume precisely to what hiring managers are looking for, and presenting it in a professional format. Lauren takes you step-by-step through the parts of the resume as well as answering tough questions about the process. I loved the research-driven approach to creating a solid resume. I've always known I should be working on my resume regularly. Now that I have a good format &way of writing about my experience, this is something I can commit to!"

— Rose M., 28, Technical Writer

"After listening to your resume advice, I felt like a light went off. I spent the rest of the evening revamping my resume based off of your recommendations - total game-changer. I applied to 3 positions today and heard back from every single one of them to set up an interview. This has never happened to me before and I am entirely convinced that it was because of your advice."

— Lauren S., 24, Social Media Professional

"This course was a worthwhile investment in me and my future. The attention to detail is unparalleled, the videos demonstrate everything! From how to download the worksheets and template (which I LOVE) to how to edit your resume line by line. For example, for some job postings I'll include my Twitter handle and others I won't. Lauren marries her experience as a recruiter with putting herself in the shoes of a modern-day job seeker - and she crushes it!"

Hi, I'm Lauren McGoodwin

I lead Career Contessa, an online platform that helps women build successful careers. I launched Career Contessa after experiencing my own professional struggles working in a job I hated and feeling hopeless about what career I should pursue to be happy. Through trial and error, I figured out a strategy for transitioning to a new industry and company and I successfully landed a job as a Recruiter at Hulu with no formal recruiting experience. Loving my job and company was a game-changer for my overall happiness and confidence.

As a Recruiter, I screened thousands of resumes, interviewed candidates in a variety of roles, and learned the ins and outs of what made a candidate a successful applicant, what impressed hiring managers, and what mistakes were immediate deal-breakers. This insight helped me launch Career Contessa to offer women real, actionable advice based on how job searches really work and how the workplace really operates.

Through Career Contessa and our professional development platform, we're bringing these strategies, tips, and resources directly to you to help you make positive career changes quickly. If you know you need a resume but you just don't know how to get started, or your resume hasn't been gaining the attention you think you deserve as a candidate, I'm here to help you. Join me!
